very much for. There is an island that has an abundance of trees so Pinkerton goes out to collect wood for barrels. While he is there he sees the burning embers of a campfire but gathers the word and sales home trying not to think much of it. When Pinkerton gets back to his home, Dundee, Illinois, he can’t get the thought of the campfire out of his head. Pinkerton decides that he will return to the island and check for more suspicious activity.…

over a few minutes back. She began methodically scrubbing her face and choice body parts with a washcloth dipped repeatedly in the stream. Though she longed to sit under a steaming hot shower and relax her aching muscles, her campfire would have to do. Elena sat by the campfire until the rustlings in the bushes around her became too unnerving. The past nights had been filled with conversation and singing with other hikers, which hid the sounds of whatever may be lurking outside the ring of…

I never could have guessed five years ago, when I walked onto the MWBC grounds that my world would change forever. I didn’t know it then, but that cozy little patch of land in the middle of nowhere would become the biggest influence in my life. I had no inkling that the people I would meet would become like a second family to me. If I had it wouldn’t have taken me so long to get there. Growing up I was very wary of summer camp. The idea of sleeping in the woods surrounded by bugs and…

The Yanomami are an indigenous ethnic group living in Roraima, in the north of Brazil. This tribe holds a curious funeral ritual that includes the ingestion of the ashes of the deceased. A classmate from my statistics class, told me about this tribe, because his ancestors were part of it.

The funeral rite is divided into three ceremonies: the samples mourn crying, the ritual…

billow and knock him over. It takes the both of us a full hour to set up the tent, and by that time, my nerves are positively wrecked. I would love to unroll my sleeping bag and just say goodnight, but the other Scouts urge me to join them around a campfire to roast marshmallows and make s’mores. I am not able to resist the…

understanding of what is possible they have given me. While my family has little time to explore Maine’s trails, living on less than $16K/year, I normally trek everywhere, just not in as beautiful settings. In camps people from any and everywhere join our campfire meals. Frequently populated with college aspirants and graduates who paint glowing pictures of their alma maters and how their education translated into future success are the most interesting to me. Maine peers’ families with…

For a detailed account of this non-traditional campers’ wonderland, read on! PARAGRAPHS Hike With over 1,000 miles of land to explore, there is no…

green trees and breathtaking views on the hiking trails. Swimming in the crystal clear waters, the large fish and fly fishing, the long nights laying under the stars with sounds of the owls at night. Waking up to the sweet smells of dew and fresh campfire coffee in the morning. No technology to distract one’s time with animals and nature. To this day my mind longs for more camping there. When people ask me about camping I always mention the places I went and how beautiful and peaceful it is.…

the town because it radiated heat as it flowed. which was the scariest part of the whole thing, it's like if you somehow froze a campfire. the mayor went out the next morning to speak to the town and tell them not to worry about the river it will be flowing…

ceremony. Luckily for me and Kian, Jordan was OK with doing the flag retirement ceremony. We find Randy and explained to him what skits we were going to perform. He liked our ideas and approved. As we helped him carry the gear towards the campfire I asked him, "How many people will be there?" I expected him to say maybe a hundred or so people. “We have reservations for about six hundred people,” replies…
